A missing gene?

Somehow, during conception, Caden failed to inherit my gene for swimming. And considering I have already had to "rescue" Preston from the shallow end this swim season, I am losing hope for him as well.


Monday was Caden's first meet, and he won 4 ribbons which he slept with pinned to his pajamas. However, it took him nearly a minute to do a lap of backstroke and nearly the same in freestyle! Looking at this optimistically, he can't really go any slower, right? So, in tomorrow's meet he should get "best times" in these events and win a couple more ribbons (these days they hand out ribbons for just about everything)...and that's all he cares about!

Even if most of the ribbons are just "participant" ribbons...


Here's a few photos from the meet and more summertime fun!
